Thanks for the response, I guess it is Corsair, but I'm not sure.

But, I want a Watt number, enough to run the HD4850, and low enough to be cost effective.

Again, thanks, and please post an appropriate Watt to run the HD4850.

EDIT: How will the HD4670 run in comparison to games? I mean, how much power am I losing from HD4850 to HD4670? Also, how long would you think the HD4670 last before being outdated compared to the HD4850? I will check my PSU now.

Ok, I am going to presume that my PSU is under 350W, so how many Watts would I need to run the HD4850? Also, how much would one cost me? Finally, do you recommend a specific model/make?

Anyway, thanks for your response, and the RAM advice.

Wow, too quick for me. Besides, this reply text box is slow.

Again, thanks for the advice, and I have a1024x768 monitor, not 1280x768. I am saving up for new hardware but oh well, Credit Crunch attacks.

Thanks for the fast-ish responses.

Newegg is American, based in CA. So I need an English/UK retailer. Besides, the U.S gets everything a lot cheaper than the UK thanks to the excessive tax level in the UK (Thanks AGAIN, Labour >:(.)

Secondly, the HD4850 is a good choice? Still, any other recommendations will be appreciated.

Finally, thanks for the RAM advice, I will look into it.

Good Day Gamespot.

After reading through the "Rate My Rig" thread and running 3DMark06 I only received 1290. So, as a result, I need an upgrade (As if Bioshock at 800x600 Low/Mid didn't tell me that; despite having a 1024x768 monitor.) and GPU seems to be the biggest factor in Gaming enhancement.

Currently, I am running an Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 @ 1.86GHz, ATI Radeon X1300 256mb, and 1Gb of RAM.

I am on a tight budget, £125 (~$204), with £150 (~$244) at definite maximum. I need a new GPU and was wondering what a good one to go for is? I currently have my eye on a Radeon HD 4850 for £115, but if there are better ones at a better price please let me know.

I play all kinds of games; Oblivion, Left 4 Dead (And Other Source Games), Bioshock, Considering rejoining WoW, and would like Crysis and S.T.A.L.K.E.R:CS but have serious trouble running games like that.

Any other questions, please ask, I will try to help as much as possible.

I need to upgrade my system.

Which is the best processor to use - AMD 64 X2 or Pentium Dual Core?

I'm on a tight budget so quad processors are out. Can anyone recommend supplier and motherboard bundle (UK)?
